Abstract:
This article looks at the provincial tax structure of colonial North Carolina while under the governance of colonial Governors Dobbs and Tryon. Characterized as inequitable, maladministered, inefficient, and plagued by corruption, the tax structure depended highly on the poll tax and imported liquor duties for provincial tax revenue. Details on how taxes were collected, accounted for, and disbursed as well as the common abuses are included.

Abstract:
This article examines the 30 years prior to the American Revolution for patterns regarding runaway slaves attempts and their success. Historical records indicated several interesting trends including the smaller number of escape attempts when compared to surrounding colonies, the increase in attempts when African-born slaves were involved, and the increased success rate when American-born slaves attempted escape.
